The problem with "a traditional interpreter in C" is that Perl6 code can change how it's parsed.
Which means that the easiest language to date with which to write a parser for Perl6, is Perl6.

Which is why the Rakudo implementation is written mostly in Perl6 and NQP (Not Quite Perl).

Speaking of C level stuff there is a new VM designed specifically for the Rakudo implementation of Perl6, MoarVM.
You can also run Rakudo on the JVM.
